(NEWSER) – Donald Miller remains legally dead, even though he showed up in court and tried to persuade a judge otherwise. As you can guess, there's a long story here: The Ohio man admits to leaving his hometown more than 20 years ago, jobless and alcoholic, and finding work in Atlanta and Florida. Returning to Ohio in 2005, he found himself declared dead. And yesterday a judge said the 61-year-old can't legally be brought back to life—dead is dead, and Miller will have to go on without a Social Security number or driver's license, the Courier reports.
